In Dragon Ball: A brutal beating of Frieza at the start

Lin Ye gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee, his nails digging deep into the stone slab. He could feel two forces clashing in his veins: on one side was the Saiyan's frenzied fighting instinct, and on the other was the void's rules of destructive energy. His gaze suddenly swept across the eyes of the "Time Saiyan" in the mural, and his own reflection was mirrored in those pupils.

"System, forcefully break through the analysis limit!" Lin Ye roared, and a golden and black aura suddenly erupted from his body. The Saiyan-specific shockwave sent debris flying, but the destructive energy, like a venomous snake, burrowed into his heart through his pores.

"Host's bloodline conflict index has exceeded the critical value! Immediate termination recommended—"

"Shut up!" Lin Ye interrupted the system, slamming his hands onto the central altar. The twelve stone statues roared simultaneously, projecting twelve beams of light from their palms, which coalesced above his head into the God of Destruction emblem. His blue hair suddenly turned silver-gray, and cracks appeared on his skin—was that a new form surpassing Super Saiyan?

Beerus's pupils constricted sharply: "This is... a mimicry of the aura of a god?"

Whis's crystal ball suddenly shattered, revealing a shocking scene reflected in the fragments: the phantom of the Supreme Kai of Time appeared behind Lin Ye, while the Saiyan bloodline was visibly devouring divine energy. The dome atop the ruins began to collapse, with rubble raining down, only to be reduced to dust the moment it touched Lin Ye's aura.

"Give it to me... okay!" Lin Ye roared and swung his fist, a golden energy wave carrying black lightning blasting towards the sky. The thunderclouds were forcibly torn open, and a beam of sunlight pierced through the gap, illuminating his bloodstained face—his left eye was still the Saiyan's emerald green, but his right eye had turned into the Supreme Kai's silver-blue.

The system suddenly emitted a piercing notification sound, this time not a warning, but a kind of evolutionary buzzing: "Special bloodline fusion reaction detected, the progress of the destruction law analysis has increased to 17%."

Beerus looked at the boy floating in the air and suddenly grinned, revealing a maniacal smile: "Hey, Whis—this human might actually be able to break the thousand-year-old legend."

Weiss stared at the newly emerging Supreme Kai emblem on the back of Lin Ye's neck, his fingertips tracing the shattered crystal ball: "Perhaps... the prophecy of the Time Saiyans is finally about to come true."

Deep within the ruins, a long-sealed mural quietly flips over, revealing its true face: a blue-haired Saiyan and the Supreme Kai clasp hands, with a burning universe beneath their feet—and their shadows perfectly overlap with Lin Ye's current form.

Chapter 161: The Battle of the Two Gods

Lin Ye had just emerged from the ruins of the Divine Omen and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when a purple crack suddenly exploded open in the sky. The familiar scent of strawberries wafted over, and Xiang Pa, munching on a donut, swayed gently as she descended on auspicious clouds, followed by a helpless-looking Bados.

"Hey, Beerus!" Champa tossed a donut wrapper on the ground. "Universe Six is ​​doomed, you'd better lend me this kid!"

Beerus sat cross-legged on the rock, his tail swishing irritably. "Borrow someone? Do you think I'm buying vegetables at the market? Lin Ye is my trial subject now; I don't have time for your childish games."

"Playing house?" Champa was so angry his hair stood on end. "The Super Dragon Balls have been tampered with! All the wishes that come out are monsters! If we don't find the truth soon, Hit and the others will all be dead!" He abruptly turned to Lin Ye. "Hey, human! I heard you have some kind of system that can definitely find out the problem with the Dragon Balls, right?"

Lin Ye frowned slightly. A system notification automatically popped up: "Special energy fluctuation detected, suspected to be a Super Dragon Ball." Before he could speak, Beerus had already stood up, surrounded by black flames: "Want to snatch someone from me? You'll have to get past my destructive energy first!"

Two world-destroying auras collided violently, and space shattered like a broken mirror, creating countless cracks. Lin Ye's pupils contracted sharply; deep within the cracks, he saw countless pairs of scarlet eyes peering out. Even more bizarrely, half a yellowed parchment scroll floated out from one of the cracks, depicting a Saiyan totem of time similar to that found in the ruins of the God's Omen.

?

"Watch out!" Vados suddenly intervened, a silver light shield blocking the energy shockwave that was about to hit Bulma. Lin Ye then noticed that Bulma had somehow arrived at the training ground and was now frantically taking pictures with her camera.

"You two Gods of Destruction, fight it out, but don't damage my new equipment!" Bulma shouted. She suddenly noticed Lin Ye's gaze fixed on the crack. "Hey, Lin, what's that weird thing you're seeing?"

Before Lin Ye could answer, Champa snorted, "Beelzebub, this fight will never end. Why don't you let this kid come with me? If he can really solve the Super Dragon Ball problem, then you'll owe me a favor!"

?

Beerus sneered, "You wish. But..." He looked at Lin Ye, "Kid, do you dare accept the double trial? Help Champa find the Dragon Balls while continuing to comprehend the Law of Destruction. If you can't—" He flicked his finger, and the distant mountain peaks instantly turned to dust, "then just wait to become cosmic dust."

Lin Ye clenched his fist, his Saiyan bloodline surging: "I take it!"

Led by Vados, the group arrived at the Dragon Ball storage location in Universe 6. The seven Super Dragon Balls emitted an eerie purple light, their surfaces covered in fine cracks, as if forcibly altered by some force. Just as Lin Ye reached out to touch them, the system suddenly issued a sharp alarm: Energy tampering detected! Analysis progress 1%...?

"There's definitely something wrong!" Lin Ye focused his mind, and the newly unlocked "Dragon Ball Analysis" function began to operate. He noticed that the bottom of each Dragon Ball was engraved with the same symbol, like some kind of ancient sealing technique.

Just then, the air suddenly froze. The seven Dragon Balls simultaneously floated into the air, forming a massive magic circle. A blurry figure appeared in the center of the circle, its voice seemingly coming from the distant void: "Foolish gods and humans, this universe should have been purified long ago..."

"No! Get out of the way!" Lin Ye lunged towards Bulma, who was not far away. Amidst the violent explosion, he felt a tearing pain in his back, and blood stained his golden hair. Before his consciousness faded, he saw a line of text flash across the system interface: Residual energy of the Supreme Kai of Time detected, initiating emergency repair procedures...?

When Lin Ye awoke again, he found himself lying in Bulma's laboratory. Outside the window, Beerus and Champa were still arguing, while Vados was thoughtfully looking at the half-striped scroll in her hand—the Saiyan Time Totem on it was now faintly glowing.

Chapter 162: A Miraculous Healing Encounter

The healing pod in Bulma Labs glowed with an eerie blue light. Lin Ye, his body wrapped in regenerative bandages, lay in a deep coma. A mechanical system voice echoed repeatedly in his consciousness: "Unknown energy erosion detected. Emergency repair mode activated." But this time, the repair progress bar was stuck at 17%, refusing to move.

"This kid's heartbeat is getting weaker and weaker!" Bulma stared at the monitoring screen, her fingertips tapping heavily on the control panel. "Vegeta, how about we try using Senzu Beans..."

"Hmph, he doesn't need ordinary treatment." Vegeta crossed his arms, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a silver light flashing in Lin Ye's hair. His once golden hair now had fine, silvery-white stripes, like moonlight flowing through burning flames.

In his conscious world, Lin Ye felt himself fall into a pitch-black universe. Stars shattered and reformed in the void, and a familiar yet strange voice came from all directions: "Little one, we've finally waited for you."

A golden figure coalesced in the stardust—a Saiyan with flowing blue hair, surrounded by sands of time—undoubtedly the Time Saiyan from the murals. "I am Yamoshi, the ancestor of all Saiyans." He raised a hand, and spacetime began to distort. "You think the White God form is the end? Too naive."

Lin Ye clenched his fist: "What are you trying to say? My system said that as long as I keep unlocking bloodlines, I can..."

"The system?" Yamoshi interrupted with a cold laugh. "What it tells you is merely the path others want you to take. The true realm of the gods is the balance between spacetime and destruction!" He flicked two strands of energy from his fingertips, one transforming into a black vortex, the other condensing into a silver hourglass. "Like the dual bloodlines within you, forcibly fusing them will only result in your body exploding and you dying."

In reality, Vegeta's pupils suddenly contracted. Lin Ye's bandages began to move without wind, and cracks appeared on his skin, exactly like when he broke through to his new form in the ruins. "Bulma! Increase the energy output of the healing chamber!"

In the world of consciousness, Yamoshi's figure gradually became transparent: "Listen up, kid. Those guys who tampered with the Dragon Balls are connected to a traitor of the Supreme Kai of Time. And you..." He suddenly imprinted a spacetime coordinate on Lin Ye's forehead, "...the key to changing your fate. But remember—" His voice suddenly turned cold, "Don't blindly trust the evolution path the system gave you."

"Wait!" Lin Ye reached out to grab it, but only touched shattered stardust. Before Yamoshi's lingering will dissipated, his last words echoed in his consciousness: "Your system might just be the greatest enemy..."

?

"Beep—!" The healing pod alarm blared, and Lin Ye's body suddenly arched into a shrimp-like position, silver-white stripes spreading from his hair to his neck. Vegeta instantly activated his Super Saiyan form, gathering a ki blast in his palm: "Bulma, prepare to evacuate at any moment! This aura... is even more dangerous than a God of Destruction!"

Just as the energy blast was about to be launched, Lin Ye suddenly opened his eyes. A silver halo swirled in his emerald green pupils. He casually deflected Vegeta's attack with a wave of his hand: "Vegeta-senpai, don't be nervous." His voice even carried a hint of Yamoshi's weathered wisdom.

Bulma rushed over, scanning Lin Ye's genome. "My God, your cells are recombining at a visible rate! And this..." She zoomed in on the screen; a string of flashing spacetime coordinates had appeared on Lin Ye's genome. "This is something Earth technology can't analyze!"

Lin Ye touched his brow, Yamoshi's words echoing in his mind. Suddenly, a system notification popped up: "Foreign energy intrusion detected. Clear it?" He stared at the floating red confirmation button, a cold smile playing on his lips, and for the first time ever, chose **"No."**

Outside the window, the argument between Champa and Beerus suddenly ceased. Both Gods of Destruction simultaneously looked towards the laboratory, sensing an aura that didn't belong to any known form. "This is... power beyond that of a God of Destruction?" Beerus licked his lips, his tail swishing excitedly.

In some corner of the universe, a mysterious figure gazed at the crystal ball in his hand, its surface reflecting the spacetime coordinates on Lin Ye's forehead. "The Time Saiyan has indeed appeared..." With a hoarse laugh, he twirled the scepter in his hand. "However, do you think knowing the truth can change your fate? Too naive."

Chapter 163: Reorganization of Power

A blinding white light suddenly enveloped the training grounds on King Kai's North Planet, and the figures of the Omni-King's guards appeared like ghosts. Lin Ye's grip on the Supreme Kai Sword tightened slightly, the tip of the sword drawing a half-meter-long scorch mark on the ground—the guard's strength was clearly far beyond what it appeared, having silently breached his sensory barrier.

"Participants from Universe 7 should not interfere in the conflicts of other universes." The guard's voice seemed to come from the void, a ghostly blue light gleaming beneath his silver mask. "The Omni-King has noticed certain unusual communications."

Vegeta wiped the blood from his mouth and sneered, "You coward, just say what you have to say!" He had just finished a mock battle with Kefla, and his battle suit was still emitting wisps of smoke.

The guard suddenly raised his hand, and a beam of energy grazed past Lin Ye's ear, precisely shattering a watchtower three kilometers away. "A God of Destruction from a certain participating universe is forming an interdimensional alliance," the guard said in a flat tone. "This violates the rules of the Tournament of Power."

Bulma suddenly burst out of the capsule ship, clutching a bunch of instruments flashing blue light: "Wait! I just deciphered the residual data in chip 16. There's an encrypted signal that's being sent automatically every 72 hours!" She shoved a tablet in front of everyone, the screen displaying a string of gibberish. "The frequency matches the abnormal communication you've been talking about perfectly!"

Android 18's fingers unconsciously traced the interface of the mechanical arm: "That's Android 16's last fragment of memory. Before he was destroyed by Cell, he seemed to have come into contact with some mysterious organization." Her voice trembled, and even Krillin beside her showed an unusually solemn expression.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Bulma's communicator suddenly emitted a piercing alarm. "This...this is impossible!" Her face instantly turned deathly pale. "The inter-universe communicator just received a signal...it's a distress signal from the tenth universe!"

In the scene, an angel covered in blood is engaged in fierce combat with several masked figures. "Warriors of Universe 7...please...stop...the remnants of Zamasu..." The image freezes forever on his terrified pupils the moment his scepter is severed.

“Isn’t Zamasu completely gone?” Cold sweat beaded on Piccolo’s forehead, and eerie gray spots appeared on his green skin. His Namekian words had barely left his lips when Lin Ye’s specially made earring suddenly heated up intensely—it was the communicator that Jiren’s master had painstakingly crafted, now flashing a death countdown.

“Lin Ye…listen carefully…” A violent cough came through the encrypted signal. “The Dark Order has infiltrated…all universes…remember…the Tournament of Power…is nothing but…” The voice trailed off, followed by a chilling sound of bones cracking.

"Damn it!" Lin Ye smashed a nearby mountain peak with a single punch, sending debris flying as his aura surged into a crimson vortex. Just then, Bulma suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Look! A cosmic rift!"

Everyone looked up and saw the once clear sky cracked open with spiderweb-like dark purple lines, from which dozens of never-before-seen spaceships emerged. The insignia of the "Tenth Universe Resistance Army" gleamed coldly in the starlight on their hulls.

"Powerful beings of Universe 7, we need your help." On the deck of the spaceship, a woman dressed in black robes slowly walked out. The top of the scepter in her hand was inlaid with half of a broken Super Dragon Ball. "Zamasu's ideology has never died. They are plotting a conspiracy that could overturn all universes."

Vegeta suddenly pressed his hand to the energy ring at his waist: "Why should I believe you?" His aura had solidified into a sharp, piercing edge.

The woman in black chuckled softly, casually summoning a holographic projection. In the image, Goku was locked in fierce combat with a mysterious figure wreathed in black lightning, while Frieza lay in a pool of blood, his fate unknown. "This is Universe Eleven, three hours ago," her voice carried a chilling calm, "Your companions are bearing the brunt of the disaster that should have befallen you."

Lin Ye's pupils contracted sharply—the mysterious figure in the image exuded an aura identical to that of the former Black Wukong. He instinctively reached for the Time Ring in his pocket, only to find a strange note written in blood: "Beware of the...traitor beside you..."

At that moment, Supreme Kai Shin suddenly staggered and clung to a stone pillar: "I sense it... half of the Supreme Kais from the eighteen universes are perishing..." The crystal at the tip of his staff, symbolizing the Supreme Kai, was shattering at a visible speed.

Just as everyone was in chaos, Android 18 suddenly grabbed Bulma's wrist: "Quickly check the energy responses of those ships! The mysterious signal in chip 16... matches their energy fluctuations perfectly!" Her mechanical eyes flashed red. "We've been wrong from the start—it's not someone sending messages, it's someone receiving them!"

A cold smile curled at the corner of the woman's lips, and the broken dragon ball on her scepter suddenly burst forth with a blinding purple light: "So you've finally realized it. Then, prepare to face the real..."

"boom!"?

A light brighter than the sun suddenly exploded, and before losing consciousness, Lin Ye saw twelve enormous figures emerge behind the woman in black robes—each radiating a terrifying aura capable of crushing even a god of destruction.

The note in his arms revealed its full contents in the bright light: "Beware of the angels around you..."

Chapter 164: Crisis of Trust

Bulma's scream shattered the silence of the Capsule Corporation laboratory, causing the metal control panel to tremble. She stared intently at the holographic projection, her nails almost digging into the screen, her white knuckles revealing her extreme shock: "The list of participants for the Tournament of Power, how could it be on the black market of Universe 11?! It even has the contestants' tactical habits clearly marked on it!" In the holographic image, the list was slowly rotating in 3D, its dense annotations seemingly mocking everyone's vigilance.

Wukong scratched the back of his head, and his golden cudgel clattered to the ground, the metallic clang particularly jarring in the deathly silent laboratory. He paced anxiously, cold sweat beading on his forehead: "I swear I didn't tell anyone! I was training in Korin Tower yesterday, I didn't even see Upa!" But a doubt crept into his mind; after all, the universe had been in turmoil lately, and he had indeed encountered quite a few unfamiliar faces.

Beerus suddenly appeared, a purple shockwave overturning the experimental equipment in the corner. His purple tail lashed out irritably, leaving deep burn marks on the wall: "Quiet! This list marks everyone's weaknesses—even Vegeta's energy blind spots are clearly written." His crimson vertical pupils swept over the crowd, the air seeming to freeze where they touched. "Speak, who has recently made contact with Universe Eleven?"

Lin Ye's system suddenly went into overdrive, a blinding red light flashing on his retina, the alarm blaring painfully in his ears. He grabbed Vegeta's shoulder, feeling the bulging veins on the other's palm: "Don't move! You have... Jiren's energy fluctuations inside you! This is impossible, it's been a long time since I fought Jiren!"

"Let me go!" Vegeta instantly unleashed his power, his golden aura forcing Lin Ye back three steps. His hair stood on end, his eyes filled with anger and humiliation at being questioned: "What the hell is this damn system up to now? Am I, the dignified Saiyan prince, going to be wrongly accused by a broken machine?"

“The test won’t be wrong.” Lin Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pulled up the energy waveform graph, but his hands trembled slightly. On the screen, the two waveform graphs overlapped perfectly. “This fluctuation matches the aura Jiren left behind at the last God of Destruction meeting. But if Vegeta really betrayed us, why didn’t we notice it before?”

The air froze instantly. Piccolo crushed the Senzu Bean in his hand, green powder falling to the ground; Krillin instinctively stepped in front of Android 18, his arm taut like a bowstring. Vegeta's face turned a deep purplish-red, glaring fiercely at Goku: "Kakarot, you doubt me too? We've been through so many life-and-death situations together, and this is how you see me?"

Goku opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His mind was in turmoil. Vegeta was his rival, but also his comrade-in-arms, yet the evidence before him was far too bizarre. Just then, Beerus suddenly attacked, a purple beam piercing Lin Ye's forehead. Fragments of memory scattered in the air like shattered mirrors, each piece shimmering with an eerie light.

"Found it." The God of Destruction stared at a certain scene and sneered, his voice seemingly coming from the deepest hell. "The black-robed figure in the spacetime rift... is it the same one you saw in the Mental Time Chamber?"

Lin Ye felt a chill run down his spine as those memories flooded back. Three days ago, the Hyperbolic Time Chamber was filled with an eerie purple mist. The moment the black-robed man removed his hood, Vegeta's face was revealed. But he clearly remembered that the black-robed man's eyes were cold and devoid of emotion, completely different from the furious Vegeta before him. "This is a fake!" Vegeta roared, unleashing the Explosive Flash, the energy blast transforming into starlight in Beerus's palm. "I've never been to any spacetime rift! Are you all blind?"

Just as the situation reached a tense standoff, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the sky. Trunks' time machine crashed through the clouds, creating a massive crater in the ground, sending dust billowing into the air. The Future Soldier, covered in blood, his sword still dripping black liquid, each drop corroding the ground and leaving a sizzling, deep pit. He staggered, gripping the wall for support, his heavy breathing filled with barely concealed terror: "The Omni-King... has been replaced! The real Omni-King disappeared half a year ago..."

"Enough!" Beerus's shockwave ripped through the entire laboratory, sending metal panels from the roof flying like pieces of paper. His eyes were filled with impatience and suspicion. "Vegeta, come with me to Champa for your trial. Lin Ye, hand over your system data. And you—" He turned to Trunks, radiating a dangerous aura, "You'd better prove you're not lying."

Bulma suddenly raised the scanner, her hand trembling violently, and the numbers on the screen jumped wildly: "Wait! Vegeta's energy... is fading?" Everyone watched as the test results plummeted, and the once clear Jiren waveform twisted into unfamiliar patterns, as if an invisible hand was tampering with the data.

"A disguise by a third party." Lin Ye suddenly grabbed Beerus's tail, completely ignoring the God of Destruction's murderous gaze. "Lord God of Destruction, have you ever considered that the leak of this list might be a ploy to create internal strife? From the sudden appearance to the disappearance of Jiren's energy, everything is too coincidental!"

Beerus narrowed his eyes, the fur on his tail bristling, and a dangerous aura filled the air. Suddenly, a spiderweb-like crack appeared in the distant sky, and countless black tentacles emerged, each draped in a nauseating slime. "They're here." Trunks gripped his sword tightly, his knuckles turning white. "Those beings who tamper with the Omni-King... they're called Imaginary Elemental Beings. They can distort reality, alter memories; everything we see might be a lie!"

Goku had already assumed a fighting stance, but his hair, unusually, hadn't turned golden. His eyes were filled with confusion and determination. "Whatever it is, let's beat them up first! But first we need to figure out—" He stared at Vegeta, then looked at Lin Ye, his voice tinged with bitterness, "Who can we still trust? How much of the camaraderie we forged fighting Frieza and Majin Buu together is left in the face of these conspiracies?"

Vegeta snorted coldly, tightening his raid suit belt again, the metal buckle clanging crisply and firmly. His gaze suddenly fixed on a fragment of memory—a rune flashing on the black-robed man's sleeve, identical to Trunks's sword sheath. Could Trunks be the mastermind? Or was this yet another trap set by the enemy?

Meanwhile, in some corner of the universe, the true mastermind sneered through the crystal ball. He twirled the ring on his hand, engraved with the same warning as the note in Lin Ye's pocket: "Once the chain of suspicion is activated, no one can escape unscathed. When you all turn on each other, my plan will be half successful."

Chapter 165: Mirror World

As Lin Ye pressed his palm against the edge of the spacetime rift, the system suddenly issued a sharp alarm. Dark red warning characters flashed wildly on his retina: [Detection of homologous energy fluctuations! Danger Level: SSS]

“The air pressure in this godforsaken place is weird.” Trunks’s sword blade scraped the ground, sparks flying, and his futuristic combat suit fluttered in the turbulent air. “The time tunnel wasn’t like this when I traveled through it last time.” Purple lightning struck the two of them from the side, and in the ripples of energy that exploded, the outline of a distorted human face vaguely appeared.

Before Lin Ye could answer, the system core in his chest suddenly became hot. Alice's mechanical voice, crackling with electrical noise, said, "Mirror universe coordinates detected... forcibly connecting—" Before she could finish speaking, the crack in front of them suddenly expanded, swallowing the two of them into chaos.

When he opened his eyes again, a thick, black mist rushed towards him. Lin Ye instinctively swung the Supreme Kai Sword, but the sword energy vanished like mud into the sea. A clanging sound of metal came from afar, and Trunks suddenly grabbed his shoulder: "Look! That's..."
